YMBBif Bucket List thread

I guess a Westy 6 or 2002 or 3 3F Vintage would be my biggest beer want if I had to name one, but I don't really have a bucket list beer. Most of my favorite beers can be found on shelves(or online). I enjoy a great beer more than a rare beer any day.

I have more glassware wants than beer wants at the moment, and am getting into Duvel glass collecting. I have 25ish right now, and am looking to expand.

 

This was actually harder than I thought to come up with a bucket list.

First and probably the biggest would be for some fresh IPAs for the lady, since I got to keep her happy to keep trading.

After that in terms of my top wants, I'd say in no particular order: any BA Darklord/Murda'd Out Stout, pre-batch 4 Beatification, or pre-2000 Cantillon/3F.

I love snifters and any brewery shirt or fitted hat (size L-XL). I wouldn't be against some sort of swag for my girl friend, who although she is a lot smaller than me, loves wearing my shirts so I'd probably just end up losing it to her.

If that's my bucket list, I think I've had a good run so far. Looking forward to seeing this unfold.

 

I think I'm too young on BA to have an official bucket list. Luckily I have tons of great BA's in the are that are willing to share lots of great beers. BCBS Rare, BA Darklords old vintage gueuzes, old RR sours... are all pipe dreams of mine. Slightly more realistic would include Upland Sours, and beers that I'd love to try that are more likely include stuff from Pipeworks, Surly, Steel Toe, Lift Bridge, thumb print series, BA beers from Cigar City, anything hoppy from VT, or anything with high regard from your area. Really I'll be happy with anything that's new to me and that you're proud to share. Swag I prefer glassware or a tap handle. Also love t-shirts and hats. Regardless, anything you send will be greatly appreciated! Looking forward to 20 very happy recipients when all is said and done!

 

My bucket list is to drink good beer until the day I kick mine. I like sour stuff, dark stuff and hoppy stuff. My wants well be updated this week.

 

My bucket list beer is Rare. I'm trying to build up enough to trade for it but don't think I have the firepower yet unless I trade away all my beer. I'm working on it though

Oh and Brandy Vanilla Dark lord obviously. Who the hell wouldn't to drink marshmallowy goodness.

 

My bucket list beer is pretty much any Russian River sour that came in 750mL format, with a preference to old Beatification (batch 3, I think?). I will try to fill out my wants over the next week or two as much as possible, but in general I just appreciate good beer, so if you think it's good, I want it. Would also love to get a big comfy beer-related hoodie but I know that will be hard to come by in my size. As far as glassware is concerned, I would love any/all Cantillon and Fantome glassware, as I don't have anything from either brewery. That said, I love stemmed glassware of all shapes and sizes, and really am not picky.

 

I've been really fortunate to acquire many of my top wants recently, I guess I'm still after 2002 OGV and 3F 50th (plus the standard whales, bro), but I don't really care that much. Maybe older BT, but again, it's not something I'm super concerned with. I'm mostly after good beer, especially stuff that I haven't tried (untappd list is in my profile, and I can make an export so it's easier to search if that's helpful).

I also really like glassware, I'd love a BCBS snifter but since they're coming out again in March I'm not sweating it. I'd also like the 3F tumbler with the fountains on it, never saw one for sale in Belgium and I like the design. Not a big fan of shirts as swag, I'm picky about what goes on my torso.

 

My bucket list was tougher to come up with than I thought. I would love a barrel-aged Dark Lord Variant or a Barrel-Aged Hunahpu's. A bottle of BA Hi-Fi Rye has always been on my radar. Stemmed glassware is something that I am always seeking out. Overall, as far as beer goes, if it tastes good and has spent time in a barrel, I will probably love you forever for sending it to me. I am also starting to get more heavily into sours, so any sours would be welcome in my cellar (especially Cascades or RRs).

 

I've been crossing things off my bucket list pretty fast and furiously these last six months as I've gotten more active with trading (and a good tasting group). A snifter club bottled Funky Buddha beer currently tops my bucket list, but with the locations of the people signed up that seems essentially impossible. Damn you Snow Nemo for keeping me from EBF Buddha goodness this year.

More realistic entries: Other awesome flavored berliner weisses. Also Southampton Uberliner.
I wouldn't mind a Rare Bourbon County .
Barrel-aged Hunaphu's would go over well.
Always looking for Peche N Brett, Fantasia, Fou Foune, Blabaer, (I think you're probably starting to see the pattern here) etc.
Live Oak Hefeweizen growler has also been a bit of a ghost.
Silva Stout would be welcome.

As for swag, I'm really up for anything besides pint glasses. Funky Buddha, Peg's, or Cigar City snifters would be cool. Well made first priority and cool logo's are better than boring ones. Short sleeve shirts (randomly got a few long sleeve shirts recently) or sweatshirts are probably tops for textiles. Get 'em big if you think they're going to shrink, I'm in-between sizes.

Really looking forward to being someone's little spoon.

 

Don't know how I left this off, but Kaggen! Stormaktsporter is one beer I've yet to try. I know that's quite a stretch, but it's called a "bucket list" for a reason, lol.

 

I've also been lucky to be blessed with a pretty awesome group of generous BAs around (a few of which are in this BIF) which has allowed me to enjoy much of what I've really wanted to try.

My top want right now would probably be an Apple Brandy Hunahpu growler but other things that I love:
vintage BCBS and variants - especially Bramble, but would never say no to Rare
Sours/lambics/gueuzes - fruited especially
Saisons
Anything else barrel aged - stouts, porters, BWs, sours - especially 12ozers like BB4D and BBPt5
What I definitely don't like - IPAs, American BWs, anything else hoppy

As far as swag, I've got plenty of glassware, but I do love snifters and tulips. I would definitely love some more beer shirts. I prefer dark colors, such as black/navy blue and like both short and long sleeve.

I'm looking forward to the challenge of punishing someone righteously.

 

I too have been lucky enough to have found many generous local BA's who share my harder to get wants with me. My bucket list of colored whale's (which will be shared with others ) as of late in no particular order are

Cable Car, CFH'12, Vanilla BA DL, Framboos

other then that i'm really into sours right now. Call me a hater but i prefer Le Bleu over Blabaer any day of the week and would love to drown in Brute.

I'm always on the hunt for stemmed glassware and just traded for a Cantillon Balloon glass. As far as clothing goes I'm a size L and do not wear hats. I prefer darker colors if at all possible.

Why you should choose me you say? I'm on the fence with BIF's as of late. I've had a string of questionable BIFs. Don't get me wrong, i've seen some pretty horrible boxes and i have always been lucky enough to dodge those but mine have always been meh.... Check my profile for the list of BIF's i've been in. BTW - i prefer cellarable items. Those who know me know i already have a problem and can never seem to drink the beer fridge down so getting a break from time sensitive beers would be a great help.

Thanks for your time. I'm looking forward to this BIF and the challenge it faces on my quest to destroy my target.

Cheers

 

How could anyone be disappointed with the people that are in this BIF, great job with this one, Brandon.

My biggest bucket list item is a 2005 "Red" Gratitude, finish the vert that they now have. Other than that, love the sours, Cable Car would be cool. Also, like Ungertaker said, anything in barrels that is tasty and fresh IPAs. Not really a Quad, Dubbel, Trippel or a Black IPA fan, just saying.

As for the swag ~ shirts ~ the more non-descript the better. Snifters and Tekus are cool, the more different they are, the better If you send stickers they will find a place on my cooler.

This should be fun to see what comes in!

 

Guess I better post this while I still have the chance.

I have something pretty big "due" at any moment, so most likely I won't have time to drink very much in the next month or two. So, I'd like to ask for things that I could more or less lay down for a while, as opposed to time-sensitive brews, like pale ales or lagers. Without question, my 2 favorite styles would have to be sours (lambic, gueuze, or wild ales) and barrel-aged stouts. Breweries that I can never get enough of include Cantillon, Hill Farmstead, Kuhnhenn, Upland, 3F, and Surly. I'd really like to try more from Fitger's, Tired Hands, Revolution, and Crooked Stave.

As far as a bucket list items (or wish list items, as I refer to them), I have a bunch listed on my profile page, but I'd have to say that the most preferred at the moment would probably be a BA Vanilla Dark Lord. I was fortunate enough to try the Bourbon Vanilla version at the Firestone event while my special someone was forced to only take in the delicious smell of that beer without being able to indulge in its tastiness. After seeing her disappointment (she's a big fan of vanilla in her BA stouts), I've made it a goal of mine to secure her a bottle so that it can be the first thing she drinks when it comes time again.

As far as swag, clothing is preferred as I have far too much glassware than I know what to do with.

Can't wait to get this one started!

 

I feel like I'm finishing this one up, let me clear my mind really quick - two glass of Younger can affect a guy

My bucket list item currently is Bourbon Vanilla Darkness (yes Darkness - thanks Obama actually dc55110 for letting me know of it's existance, it now haunts my dreams...) Cantillon Blåbær LambikS (I might be to split a bottle soon) and Kaggen! Stormaktsporter (one of the last in the top 10 I've never had) - I've love to collect a Bourbon Vanilla Dark Lord but only to split with my regular tasting group as I was lucky enough to try it at the Firestone Fest.

I love canned beers - especially fresh IPAs that I've never had such as Gandhi-Bot Double IPA which is currently one of my oldest wants. I love trying new beers (especially canned) a complete listing of what I've had (for the most part) can be found here

For the SWAG side I'm a large L and love brewery Work-shirts and glassware. I'm a homebrewer so bring on the homebrew.

My favorite breweries (outside of SoCal) are Surly, Cigar City , Squatters, Fitgers, Six Point, Crooked Stave.

I've updated my wants as well

Cheers

SNB

 

I can't say I really have a bucket but I do have holes in the upland voltron, blueberry and strawberry. Sour reserves would be nice too.
I also am a fan of cans: good, bad, foreign, firm, ample, mouthful... wait what?
The fiancee is gluten free and misses hops, likes ciders but its not beer.
I've already researched a few people and could do some real damage on a few.

 

Oh, and to piggy-back off of what Scott said, home brews are always welcome!

 

Greetings all..............

My wants are up to date, and as far as style preferences I lean towards barrel aged stouts, porters, and any good IPA's you feel worthy of trying as you can probably gather from my wants. I am less into sours, and really don't care for wheat beers. As far as my current bucket list/wish items would go, this would include Rare and any earlier vintages of Darkness 2009 and prior. I have traded with/ interacted with a number of you fine BA's in the past, and I'm really looking forward to making one of you my bitch !!!

Cheers!!!
